Another Winner

James Patterson has done it again. This sequel is fast paced easy to read and I could not put the book down. I love the Women's Murder Club and the characters to me are believable. These women have problems of their own and that is woven brilliantly into the story. If you like true to life crime stories with women in charge than this is a must book to read.

Balanced

Picked this up for another trip to Europe and eagerly finished it. I continue to enjoy the interplay of the four women. I do wish that Jill's character was developed just a little more. There were a few pieces that even after finishing confuse me, but perhaps that's part of the mystery. I'm curious to see if the Aaron Winslow character continues in the series.

Birthday Reading for my Daughter-in-law

My daughter-in-law enjoys James Patterson's books. So I sent her 2nd Chance. The book was in great shape when she received it. Thanks

2nd Chance

This is the second book in the Women's Murder Club series featuring Detective Lindsay Boxer and her friends -- a crime reporter, a medical examiner, and an assistance district attorney -- who are the Women's Murder Club. They gather to discuss evidence that others in their workplaces may have missed as well as sharing support and friendship. This time it's another rather bizarre serial killer. Boxer's long-lost father, a retired police officer, makes an appearance in this book. This is a fast read with short chapters. The plot holds one's attention to the end.

2nd Chance reconvenes the Women's Murder Club, four friends (adetective, a reporter, an assistant district attorney, and a medical examiner)who used their networking skills, feminine intuition, and professional wiles tosolve a baffling series of murders in 1st to Die. This time, themurders of two African Americans, a little girl and an old woman, bear all thesigns of a serial killer for Lindsay Boxer, newly promoted to lieutenant of SanFrancisco's homicide squad. But there's an odd detail she finds even moredisturbing: both victims were related to city cops. A symbol glimpsed at bothmurder scenes leads to a racist hate group, but the taunting killer strikesagain and again, leaving deliberate clues and eluding the police ever morecleverly. In the meantime, each of the women has a personal stake at risk--andthe killer knows who they are. 2nd Chance speeds along at a Formula One pace through many tight curves,but unlike recent entries in theAlex Cross series, itdoesn't sacrifice good characters to a twisted plot. Lindsay's the star, butthere's a fine esprit de corps among the four women, who are even betterdeveloped here than in the first book. What makes them both convincing andinteresting as a criminal-justice juggernaut is their willingness to stick theirnecks out, even if they suffer for it. If you haven't picked up a JamesPatterson novel in a while, this is a great time to start anew. --BarrieTrinkle
